I’ve never seen this one before. Big rust color spots. This is a skunk #1 feed only by earth dust. What is this problem?

What did you inoculate with? You could use a beneficial bacteria/fungal product instead of compost tea to spray for the disease, I feel those are more targeted than brewing a tea that you really don't know what is inside it. Did you amend the soil with anything? Whats earth dust? Could be something going on in the soil.

Yes I amended the soil with Earth Dust. It is a living soil dry amendment. I re-used old soil.

I used general hydroponics def guard for bacterial/fungal inoculation.

Wait so Is It a deficiency or a disease? Wouldn't you treat a deficiency with something like compost tea or a different nutritional source whether It be top dress amendments etc..? Why use a fungal/bacterial product @Glomus

Asking as a beginner trying to learn

Yeah I am not sure exactly what he was asking. I always use def guard to treat my soul before any grow. It eliminates fungus that gnats are attracted to. So that was the “inoculation” but that’s not for nutrition deficiency.

Not trying to step on toes of anyone but you need calcium and not inoculation. I mean you could inoculate until the cows come home to roost but you still need calcium some how. Gypsum is going to be your fastest and cheapest method. a few handfuls per plant and it will dissolve into the soil with each watering. Calcium is slow moving (but it does move unlike what many think) so you want to get your plant some before switching to flower.

Correct, that particular microbe falls more in the bio-cide category where the other ones are used to address nutrient deficiencies. Don't get that part confused. There are many beneficial microbes that do a variety of things. When it comes to microbes helping with nutrient deficiencies, it's more in an indirect way. Soil bacteria breaks down the nutrients to a form the plants can regularly use while the plants provide sugars (carbs) to the microbes in exchange. It's a symbiotic relationship.

In this case, the calcium must already be present for the microbes to provide any benefit at all. Gypsum is an outstanding choice ... the finer the powder, the quicker its available. Gypsum is pretty much white sidewalk chalk only in powder form. It should be easily located and it has little to no effect on soil pH.

lol brother, Im just trying to spread the word Glomus Interaradices. Understanding the soil microbiome has saved me a lot of stress and money over the years and I want to help people get on it and not get scammed by the a lot of these nutrient companies.

I guess depending on the water you using if it’s not already in the water the. Yeah maybe a cal mag supplement might be it, but I feel like cal deficiency is usually from people using soilless and RO water

Gypsum is actually good for growing mushrooms, so I’d imagine the mycorrhizae likes it.
